You should contact your local NI sales rep regarding that question.
The questions you have to answer for yourself before getting to actual numbers:
- How to you calculate/price regarding development time? How much time do you save when using PXI vs. esisting boxed instruments?
- What about execution speed/reliability of the application?
- What about less space requirement? What is a square meter production floor worth?
- What about potential synchronization tasks (trigger/clock/...)? Is that an option for future modifications or is it very unlikely to occur?
- Switching: Speed vs. Power vs. "Easy to use"?
- Overall power consumption of instruments? Grounding issues?
This is just a small list for brainstorming. You can come up with many additional, reasonable questions....
